Specific embodiment
Fig. 1-Fig. 4 shows one embodiment of heliostat in groups.Multiple components are consistently acted on figured reflective surfaces,
To assemble the solar radiation of oblique incidence.
In one embodiment, heliostat can be with figured reflective surfaces, so as to daily by the sun of oblique incidence in groups
Radiation gathers fixed receiver, or gathers its identical mechanism or part, can orient multiple solar panels, make
The surface of each panel in the daytime is obtained perpendicular to incident radiation.Solar panel can redirect radiate so that its elsewhere
It is utilized.Reflecting surface can be continuous flexible sheets or multiple flat reflectors.Reflecting surface is soft by such as cable
Property component support.Component is by free suspension between the supporting element at the endpoint for being located at component or near endpoint positioned at component.
It will be the rotation being generally disposed in the case where reflecting surface is towards top in horizontal direction by the whole surface that flexible member generates
Turn a part of stretched wire or catenoid.One shallow catenoid is similar to the surface of sphere.Reach the oblique incidence of spherical reflector
Radiation be gathered in astigmatism focal point.The deformation of flexible member changes the orientation and shape of reflecting surface.The deformation of flexible member
It can be realized by changing flexible member tension, general horizontal can be surrounded with flexible member endpoint, is parallel to flexible structure
In conjunction with the rotation of part and the axis with flexible member in line.In addition, each facet of reflecting surface can around with it is small
Plane rotates in line and perpendicular to the axis of flexible member.
Application for concentrating solar power station, deformation is so that the radiation of reflection is gathered in selected astigmatism focus area
Center.Substantially, deformation be applied on reflecting surface across cylindrical bending or toroidal profile, to correct astigmatism
Aberration.The rotationally-varying of each reflector improves system accuracies and aggregation level.Solar radiation is gathered in and connects by reflecting surface
It receives at device.Receiver can be fixed and be placed to receive the radiation of aggregation.When receiver tracks the sun of reflection in one day
When radiation, receiver can be tracked so that its movement to be in focal zone always.By these modes, cost effect may be implemented
Benefit and large-scale heliostat in groups.Multiple heliostats in groups can consistently assemble solar radiation.Multiple heliostats in groups can be with
It is end-to-end, side by side or end-to-end and be arranged side by side.So that system infrastructure is shared and reduces cost.It is end-to-end and side by side
